    Mr C is asking the same - but is slightly mollified by the recent no-limit broadband holiday.

    I like your thinking!

    I'll have a go at blagging that when my contract comes up for renewal

    although I will probably spend most of it either drunk or wondering if it is to early to start drinking - maybe just get up later so there is less time between breakfast and beer o'clock...

    Already done that! Which is very very nice!

    It's my fault that I've not used them. Have to see what's happening meeting-wise over the next 3 weeks. See if I can squeeze 'em in...

    This just gets better. The boss is discussing (and liking) the concept of duvet days.

    **** that. I'd rather keep rinsing the public sector.

    25 years contracting off and on (18 years contracting) and never had to take a gig I had to stay away overnight. And I live in wales.
